Acerca deste libro electrónico
A sleuthing English professor looks into the sordid secret life of a student who's gone missing . . .
When a young woman comes to Professor Pennyfeather and confides that her cousin Ernestine—one of his English students—is missing, he's surprised to hear that the bookish girl in his class is a very different person outside of school. Apparently, in the evenings, she transforms herself into a femme fatale and looks for naïve young sailors at the waterfront dancehalls, enjoying fancy nights out at their expense before verbally abusing and abandoning them. Now she hasn't been seen in two days, and her cousin fears she's taken one too many risks. The professor decides it's time to do some research. He wants to know what happened to Ernestine, and what caused the orphaned heiress to pursue this secret life—one that just may have led to her death . . .

Acerca do autor
Dolores Hitchens (1907–1973) was a highly prolific mystery author who wrote under multiple pseudonyms and in a range of styles. A large number of her books were published under the moniker D. B. Olsen, and a few under the pseudonyms Noel Burke and Dolan Birkley, but she is perhaps best remembered today for her later novel, Fool's Gold, published under her own name, which was adapted into the film Bande á part directed by Jean-Luc Godard.
